ABSTRACT:
The humidity of a heated space is regulated by varying the amount of moisture transferred from the combustion gases of the furnace used to heat the space. A porous heat sink element is arranged to move through the path of the combustion gases and one or more reclaim-air paths. The heat sink member can take any of a variety of forms; it can reciprocate back and forth along a track, or it can be configured as a rotating wheel ("heat wheel"). The amount of moisture transferred from the combustion gases to the reclaim air is governed by a humidity signal. If the humidity signal calls for a change in humidity, one of several parameters is varied to provide for a greater or lesser transfer of moisture from the combustion gases to the reclaim air.
